Forever, 2018
Like the sun that never sleeps,
the moon that never weeps.
The stars, who are never gone
even when you look away,
by your side I shall stay.
Like the sand to shore,
rose to thorn, hand to hand;
you and I are one.
And never shall I leave
even when I'm gone.
Never shall I disappear
even when you cannot see me,
I'll be right there.
In every word, whisper, song, breath.
In every sunset, rainbow, cloud over your head.
I'll be in every beat of your golden heart,
like you in mine.
Holly and Chris, 2018
When I'm with you, time will never pass
in seconds, minutes or hours.
It'll pass in laughter and memories,
(even in tears).
But no matter what comes our way,
our way will be ours.
Forever my other half,
my better half,
my whole.
And this world will be ours now,
ours to grow old and wonderful.
Because it's you that makes this world beautiful,
you that makes my smile glow.
What is love?, 2016
What is love?
A strange longing affection
Or the song of a bird,
In the early morning sun.
Or the soft blow of trees?
In the far away meadows
Where you shared stories
And you traded dreadful puns.
Is it that wake up coffee?
Or that well deserved brew
That greets us after a hard day
Of work all the way through.
Then before you know its supper
And its time to sit down
(For a bit anyway as something
Always seems to distract us)
But when we do sit down
To talk about our day
Or our deep thoughts or whatever
Maybe even over-analyse each other
Jewels and Mark, 2016
(But jk, don’t worry its only banter
And we don’t really mean it)
But what I am trying to say is
I think love is much simpler
Than the way most view it.
Yes it can be hard at times, complicated
And makes us sad when it leaves
But it always has a way of coming back.
And that’s when it grows.
So you see
I saw love not in flowers, nor birds
Or the sea
I didn’t know it in films, in plays or in dreams
No, I saw love so much closer to me
I saw love when it found you and Mark
That’s when I knew love doesn’t hold back,
When two people are meant to be together
And nothing could be as simple as that.
Eternity Is But A Second, 2021
Eternity is but a second.
Thunder but a drop of rain
When you are not by my side.
Life is but a whisper
In the chorus of the world
When I do not have your hand to hold.
The seasons merely specs
of yellows and blues and golds.
The stars only dust particles
Without you in my arms.
Rivers become dry banks
Of sand and mud
And the song of a bird,
Is just a sound,
When I cannot see you smile.
A rainbow is simply
Spilled ink across
A stretch of blue
When I cannot lay with you
And watch the world.
A tree is just a tree,
A rose is just a rose
When I think of my life without you.
Eternity is but a second,
But I wish to spend
Every second of that with you.
PJ and Sara, 2021
